AI art has divided the creative world. Artists argue that tools like Midjourney and DALL-E were trained on millions of images created by human artists without their consent, making AI art a sophisticated form of theft. AI art advocates argue that all art is influenced by what came before, that AI is simply a new medium like photography or digital design, and that the human who prompts and curates AI images is making creative decisions. Art competitions and galleries are actively debating whether AI works should be eligible. Is AI art genuine creative expression or is it just copying?
